Abstract
The work discusses performance, modification and implementation details of three intermittency based transition models. The intermittency is applied in the SST eddy viscosity turbulence model and in an explicit algebraic Reynolds stress model (EARSM). Experimental results of transonic flows through turbine cascades at different Reynolds numbers are used as test cases, where the interaction of shock wave with laminar or turbulent boundary layer can be distinguished and reproduced in simulations. Of the transition models tested, only the criteria based γ−ζ model captures well the influence of Reynolds number on the transition. The criterion for transition on separation bubble has been re-formulated so that the model is local in streamwise direction and applicable also in 3D flows. The model is still non-local in wall-normal direction but this is found acceptable considering its performance and the fact that its evaluation is made fully automatic in the framework of structured multi-block solver.
